The lecture will deal with the ways in which art can approach the political sphere by ways of negation, as a sort of an activity whose politics involves highlighting its political ineffectiveness. It will do so through a presentation of ten exhibitions curated by Ory Dessau over the past decade.

The workshop will be based on reviewing students' original works and portfolio as part of an in-depth examination, contextualizing each of the practices in the spectrum of the contemporary global art field.
